Making rifles and cartridges is a matter of pride as much as it is about offering hunting enthusiasts the best combined cartridge and rifle performance on the market. It is seldom that one and the same production plant manufactures both rifles and cartridges. Since 1921, Sako has developed the world’s most accurate rifles and cartridges, using the latest technology as well as traditional gunsmith craftsmanship.

All Sako and Tikka rifles and cartridges are tested to guarantee 1 MOA or better accuracy - straight out of the box. Our products are continuously tested for Sako’s high standards on accuracy, performance, stopping power and reliability.

SAKO CARTRIDGES

Due to a proprietary heat treatment method, as well as zero impurities of the case material, our cartridges have the industry’s highest reloadability and pressure resistance, maximizing the lifespan and safety of any rifle. Picture: Depicted on the left is the average metallurgic microstructure of other high quality brass. Depicted on the right is the small-diameter grain structure of the Sako brass.

All hunting loads and bullets are developed at the Sako ballistics laboratory. They are tested during real big game hunts for optimal weight retention and double-diameter mushrooming for maximum impact. Picture: Sako Hammerhead is a bonded soft-point bullet. It is depicted before and after mushrooming in tissue.

Every bullet and case is individually inspected, the deviation of the highest quality single-base powder charge is minimized and the ignition time of the primers remains constant, providing for a quality that exceeds the precision of hand loading.
